overview of how bigbang code is organized and how to use the library #502

The API documentation is organized by file/library, which makes sense, but I'm not sure how easy that is for people to understand. Should we have an overview of how the code is organized so that someone new to the project knows what to look for where? E.g. mailing list crawling is done within these 4 files, archives and analysis is in these, these files were experimental and aren't regularly used, etc.
